Musikmesse 2016 – BluGuitar unveils the BluBOX Virtual Speaker Collection
BluGuitar GmbH presents the BluBOX at Musikmesse 2016 in Hall 11.0, Stand A81
A professional impulse response speaker simulation that brings together a hand-picked virtual collection of 16 of the most sought-after guitar cabs in a rugged, handy enclosure the size of an effects pedal. The BluGuitar BluBOX is the result of Thomas Blug’s efforts to offer today’s guitarists a first-class-sounding solution for connecting any guitar amp directly to a PA or recording desk.
For all electric guitarists who are always looking for the optimum solution when miking and recording their guitar tone, there is now a new, extremely simple and practical alternative that also sets a new standard in sound quality. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience as a professional studio and live guitarist, Thomas very carefully selected the cabinets that are, so to speak, the “industry standard for good guitar tone”. They are his own guitar cabs, which can be heard on numerous music productions Thomas was involved in (from Stewart Copeland, Culture Beat, Snap, No Angels and TicTacToe to members of Deep Purple, Fokus, Simple Minds and many others). Using convolution technology, Thomas captured impulse responses with different microphones and mic positions and examined them down to the smallest detail. The BluBOX is the first digital device in the BluGuitar product line. Why digital? Because analogue technology cannot accurately reproduce the acoustic complexity of speakers, whereas convolution technology precisely reproduces the tonal variety and uniqueness of every cab. The extremely low latency of less than one millisecond also ensures a genuine, analogue playing feel.
VSC Virtual Speaker-Cabinet Collection, simple, intuitive operation
Simply pick your favourite cab, optimise the character of the sound with the Mic Position control – done! The BluBOX delivers the sound of 16 legendary, world-renowned cabinets. From five legendary Marshall® 4×12 cabs built between 1965 and 1980 to the glorious cult cabs from Vox®, Mesa Boogie® and Fender®. Of course, the BluGuitar NANOCAB and FATCAB are on board too – both have caused a stir among the experts with their big tone.
Whether on stage or in the studio – wherever sounds full of character need to be miked up or recorded at the highest level, the BluBOX is an indispensable tool – with or without a guitar cab.
The BluGuitar BluBOX is available at a recommended retail price of €269 // GBP 219 // USD 319.
